The exact path — printers, resins, validation — that took my prints from desk toys to clinical tools.
A year ago my printer made desk toys. Now it makes things I trust near a patient. The gap between those two states is entirely process, not hardware.
The machine matters least. What changed everything was the discipline around it: validated resins, a calibration routine, and dimensional checks I run every month whether I think I need them or not.
This is the exact path — the printers, the resins, and the validation steps — that made the jump real.
